Ingredients

chocolate layer

peanut butter layer

glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees then coat a 9" x 13" cake pan with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter and beaten egg until no lumps remain. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a prepared cake pan then set aside.
  • Rinse and dry bowl then add melted butter and peanut butter. Mix until completely combined and smooth then stir in beaten eggs, powdered sugar, flour and vanilla. Mix until a smooth mixture forms. Spread evenly over the top of the chocolate layer.
  • Bake 45–55 minutes or until slightly underdone in center. Remove from oven then place on a rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips together with heavy cream in the microwave for 30–45 seconds. Stir until completely combined then drizzle over warm cake. Scoop or slice then serve warm, maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Notes

This dessert is so good on its own, but a scoop of vanilla ice cream really takes it over the top!
